Job Details

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

At Figma we truly believe that design does not end in Figma or with your designer, it’s just one part. Design encompasses everything that goes into the product you eventually ship to your customers. Whether that is the code you write to tie it all together, your CI/CD infrastructure that gives you confidence that your products work as expected, or the documentation you write to keep everyone on the same page.

The developer tools pillar at Figma is responsible for the development lifecycle of this design process, the handoff between designers and developers, and closing the loop from production back to design. Our goal is to enable frontend engineers to move (much) faster, spending less time on mundane tasks, and most importantly enable them to deliver the highest quality products to their end users.

In 2023, we launched Dev Mode, a suite of features that gives developers everything they need to navigate design files and transform designs into code. With Dev Mode, designers and developers stay in sync, making sure vital details aren’t lost in the handoff process. The team partners with other product and engineering teams to ensure Figma continues to push the boundaries of collaboration between design and engineering. Looking to the future, e aim to go beyond design handoff, streamlining and accelerating front-end development even further.

Most of Figma’s developer surfaces are built on Typescript, React/Redux, and WebAssembly. This allows us to develop rapidly while maintaining performance & type safety. Our backend APIs are written in Ruby/Sinatra primarily and most data is stored in a relational database or file storage.

This is a full time role that can be held from our UK hub or remotely in the United Kingdom.

What you’ll do at Figma:

  • Build and evolve Dev Mode, Figma’s leading tool for dev/design collaboration
  • Take part in building new 0→1 products within the developer tools space
  • Collaborate with designers, PMs, and other engineers crafting high quality products
  • Be a mentor to, and be mentored by, exceptional peers across engineering, product & design
  • Build strong personal connections with your teammates and help shape Figma’s culture

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • 3+ years of experience shipping user-facing features or products as a full-stack developer
  • Demonstrated strong fluency with React & Typescript
  • Experience communicating and working across functions to proactively drive solutions

While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

  • Leading large scale engineering projects with high impact
  • Driving XFN projects collaborating with Product, Design, Data & Research
  • Working with C++ in a user-facing context
  • Working with Ruby / Ruby on Rails
  • Developing for iOS and/or Android
  • Attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship
  • High velocity & a focus on user impact
